Obama parties with his rich pals while America struggles

President Barack Obama attended a fundraiser at Jay-Z's 40/40 Club in Manhattan that featured a champagne tower of 350 bottles worth $105,000 - more than twice the median household income of an American family.

The tower of $300-a-bottle Armand de Brignac Brut Gold, known as 'Ace of Spades' because of its label, is a permanent fixture at the club.

'It’s floor-to-ceiling gold bottles in the entire space,' a 40/40 representative told the New York Post. 'It’s beautiful—breathtaking. It’s the first thing you see when you walk in.'

Motherf*ckers wanna act locoHit ‘em wit, numerous shots with the fo’-fo’Faggots wanna talk to po-po’s, smoke ‘em like cocoaF*ck rap, coke by the boatloadF*ck that, on the run-by, gun high, one eye closedLeft holes through some guy clothesStop your bullshitt*n’, glock with the full clipMotherf*ckers better duck when the fool spitOne shot could make a nigga do a full flipSee the nigga layin’ shocked when the bullet hit

The Mideast is in turmoil, the economy is faltering and the president opts to spend precious time with David Letterman, Beyonce and Jay-Z. Are we the only ones to wonder if Obama's suited to be president?

Last week, Michelle Bachmann had it partly right when she said that "President Obama needs to get his priorities straight."

There's no question that Obama should, as Bachmann recommended, cancel his appearance on the Letterman show and agree to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

But the idea that Obama's problem is a mixed-up priority list is giving the president more credit than he deserves. Time and again, Obama has proved that he is simply incapable of taking the job of president seriously. And the repercussions of this grow by the day.
